Linux Mint Working on Wayland Support
It's actually incredibly useful to have apps like window managers or apps that rely on manipulating user input like xcape read another apps data. In fact such are still possible just 10x as complicated as they now involve writing awful little programs in some combination of c and yaml instead of a dead simple single line shell invocation of a program.
See https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools
The fact that this can work at all seems to suggest that its just as possible for malicious code running as user to compromise your security and the only thing actually broken is useful apps.

What's a very simple config change that you can't live without?
Having both is a game-changer. Depends on your OS. On Mac, I use Karabiner. Linux I used use caps2esc and on Windows I use a custom AutoHotKey.

Emacs-written novel on the German bestseller list
Before that I had used interception tools for key rebindings, which relied on the udevmon service to intercept keypress events, and thus even works in a TTY terminal, not requiring a window manager. I use vim keybindings in Emacs and for that I found it useful to rebind ESC to CTRL if tapped, but it still acts as CTRL when held (now I have implemented that in my keyboard firmware).

TUTORIAL: Making Caps do both Control and Esc like Caps2Esc, but with only hyprland+ydotool
Caps2Esc is a very useful input remapping utility: it turns the Caps key into either Esc or Control depending on how it's used: - if the Caps key is released before another key is pressed, it emits Esc - If the Caps key is used in chording mode, like by pressing Caps and C, it emits Control, to send Control-C

advice on keyboard remapping sofware in linux
https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools is another software to consider in the area of remapping keys. I don't think any of its existing plugins are context-aware enough for your window/program based functions, but maybe you could write your own plugins to achieve that?

Is there a way that I can make Caps Lock behave like the Mod key when pressed with another key but behave like Caps Lock (as it does by default) if just pressed and released?
Also, I found this while following the thread which offers some more interesting tools on top of what I'm looking for: https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools

is it safe to use Caps2Esc with ErgoDox?
Prior to my ErgoDox days, I had Caps2Esc on a crappy keyboard and this one key worked great. So I'm thinking of setting that key in my Oryx config on configure.zsa.io back to capslock so I can get that key flawless by using Caps2Esc for it.

Consider using keyd, Interception Tools, or kmonad. They work everywhere and don't break if you look at them funny like xbindkeys and friends.

Building a web server: Installing the right software
We wanted this machine to be as lean as possible. There is only so much memory and processing power to go around. Remember, our machine has 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 processor with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. We also wanted as much of that space and power to be used for serving up our web applications. However, we also wanted to have an additional option for editing any code files, in addition to vim.

Lightweight dev tools.
I used to be a pretty heavy Vim user (RIP Bram), but when I started doing a lot of remote pairing with less experienced devs I realised that they were sometimes having trouble following along when I was driving. Their experience was basically "click click click" some text whizzes around the screen.

The Future of the Vim Project
From what I can tell the reason is that that’s the way it was always done. As I understand it, back in the days before there were distributed version control systems, Bram was the only one who could commit to the code-base so he would credit the actual author of a submitted patch in the commit message. He continued this practice after the Vim project moved to Mercurial (and Git).
